Ted's Restaurant

Family-owned lunch counter Ted’s Restaurant is home to one of Central Connecticut’s specialties, the steamed burger. Ted’s has served its famous version of the steamed cheeseburger since 1959. Even though the patties here are steamed and not grilled, the result is a delicious lump of juicy ground beef smothered in melted cheddar and served on a big, soft bun. Rather than fries, Ted’s serves crispy home fries, with — you guessed it — steamed cheese.
